Innovation®

 

With the "Innovation" turntable clearaudio set new standards in High-End turntable manufacturing.

The "Innovation" comes with a new developed optical speed control (OSC). The "OSC" consists of an infrared sensor, high precision reflection scale and corresponding speed circuit.

 

This outstanding development has already achieved the highest ratings by the German Hifi-magazines - Audio and Stereoplay. By their independent laboratory the clearaudio "Innovation" turntable was measured with the lowest speed variation ever!
